Chapter 456.
Zhen Cheng was very dissatisfied with Jiang Ran’s claim that he believed in his own words.
However, he understood the reason why Jiang Ran chose this time to bring this matter to light.
Today was the time when the heroes gathered, the six gates and two courtyards, the four great families, all had people present.
The one who opened his mouth to ask questions was Ye Xuan, the head of the Ye family.
Once this matter had been made real, Jiang Ran’s assassination of Princess Xiyue would have become a complete joke.
And the monks of the Da Fan Zen Academy were truly worthy of being monks.
Although they had never had a second attitude towards the demonic sect, monks did not lie.
The old monk folded his hands and said ‘Amitabha Buddha’:
“Preceptor Delusion did say about this matter …… And he was seriously injured that day, and what he was hit by was precisely the Fire Melting Blade of the Winning White Eyebrow Scholar from the past years.”
This old monk’s one sentence could be said to be worth a thousand words from Jiang Ran.
Only because this old monk’s name is Void Circle.
He was the head of the Precepts Hall of the Da Fan Zen Academy.
If the old abbot did not open his mouth, even within the Da Fan Zen Center, his words would not be commented on by anyone.
Ye Xuan saw Void Circle open his mouth, then he nodded slightly:
“In that case, the rumors of Princess Xi Yue being assassinated by Jiang Ran in the Jianghu Lake are actually false?”
Jiang Ran’s side smiled:
“Whether or not it’s a falsehood, we dare not say, after all, we have never really seen this Jiang Ran.
“However, it is true that we have never seen this matter with our own eyes.”
“Speaking of which, I have yet to ask this little brother what his name is?”
“I’m Jiang Liu.”
Jiang Ran stood up and slightly clasped his fists:
“There is a one-word difference with that Jiang Ran, so all of you must not recognize the wrong person.”
When these words came out, there was a loud laughter.
Ye Xuan also shook his head:
“Not to mention the fact that there is still a word difference, even if they have the same name and surname, what can they do?
“But I am curious, little brother seems to know a lot about this matter …… and the relationship with Hundred Wood Sect’s Zhen Cheng also seems to be quite close.
“But I don’t know, little brother can know, where is Princess Xi Yue now?
“This princess is in a great deal of trouble, and must not be allowed to be lost.”
“This is something that if Family Master Ye asks someone else, there’s probably really no one who can give you an answer.”
Jiang Ran smiled:
“But if you ask me, you’re asking the right person ……
“Truth be told, at that time, when Princess Xiyue was being chased by outlaws, it was my party who came to their aid.
“Subsequently escorted all the way, sent it to this imperial capital.
“Now words ……”
He paused here and looked around, but then shook his head:
“Ye family master forgive me, someone has assumed the name of an impostor, and even went so far as to plant evidence of the current saint, but also wanted to execute Princess Xi Yue.
“Now on this occasion, I can’t reveal Princess Xi Yue’s whereabouts.
“However, it is expected that it will not take long for you all to know.”
“What? Surprisingly, he was the one who escorted Princess Xi Yue all the way to the Imperial Capital?”
“In that case, this Princess Xi Yue really isn’t dead!”
“What exactly is this young man’s origin? Jiang Liu, I’ve never heard of him.”
“Since he was able to save Princess Xiyue, his martial arts skills are extraordinary… Could it be that Jiang Ran’s disguise?”
“What are you talking about? If it was Jiang Ran, would he have sent the princess to the royal capital? If he used this as blackmail, who would dare to take action against him in the jianghu?”
“Since Princess Xi Yue isn’t dead, how come there are rumors that Princess Xi Yue has died in Jiang Ran’s hands?
“Where exactly did this matter come from?”
“It seems like it came from the …… palace?”
“Wait, what did this Jiang Liu just say? He didn’t hesitate to plant evidence on the current saint, what’s going on here?”
In an instant, the entire Seven Peaceful Buildings was abuzz with people’s voices.
Xiao Baili, who had been silent and concentrating on the two entrances to Seven Peace Town, could not help but frown.
But considering the seriousness of this matter that this group of people were talking about, Xiao Baili still did not open his mouth to say anything.
At the same time, the people from the six sects on the opposite floor had all heard the news.
They could not help but look at each other.
There were even people who had already flown over to Jiang Ran’s side, wanting to find out what was going on.
This news was too significant, not even weaker than the Demon Sect’s gathering in Seven Peace Town.
After all, Princess Xi Yue was simply too important.
She was the link between the Green Kingdom and Autumn Leaf.
Now that she wasn’t dead, a lot of things that would change drastically.
Seeing the situation intensify, finally Xiao Baili could no longer hold back:
“All shut up!!!”
His inner strength was extraordinary, wherever his voice passed, this group of people suddenly all fell silent.
Only then did they remember that they still had business to do.
Immediately, many people forced their minds to calm down, only to think of what Jiang Ran had said, it was still as good as a cat’s paw dog paddle.
While Ye Xuan would then open his mouth and say:
“Jiang young warrior, I do not ask you other, you only need to say one more thing ……
“The rest can then wait until after today’s matter is over, and then we can talk about it again in detail.”
“What does Family Master Ye want to ask?”
“You said that this group of people went out of their way to plant evidence to frame the current saint, where did that come from?”
“The …… Winning Divine Sword himself said that the gang of them were sent by the current saint to assassinate Princess Xi Yue.
“Speaking of which, this is also funny.
“To say that the one who wants Princess Xi Yue to die the most in the world, the first is naturally her father.
“The second is His Majesty the Qing Emperor.
“Winning God’s Blade’s reckless biting before his death is ridiculous.”
The crowd, however, fell into silence at this moment.
This may not necessarily be absurd to the extreme …… After all, who dares to say that he can understand all of the thoughts of the Son of Heaven?
He is bound to have a reason for doing things, and this reason is most likely not something they can see through.
But once this thing is true, for the green country, is by no means a good thing.
Immediately, someone slammed the table and said angrily:
“Surname Jiang, what are you babbling about?
“The current saint, would he not act like this?”
“That’s why I said that it was that Winning Divine Blade who planted the evidence to frame him.”
Jiang Ran skimmed his mouth:
“I don’t believe in this matter either, so I’ll tell it as a joke for everyone to hear, and you all shouldn’t take it too seriously.”
Immediately, some people nodded, thinking that Jiang Ran had a point.
Someone else whispered:
“If the Winning Divine Blade was on the verge of death, it’s also possible that he was climbing around randomly before he died.”
“That’s true.”
Jiang Ran smiled:
“Everyone, you don’t really think that His Majesty, the Qing Emperor, would lay his hands on Princess Autumn Leaf, do you?”
“That’s naturally impossible!”
“Yes, yes, yes, something impossible!”
“The matter of the alliance was still the result of His Majesty the Qing Emperor personally sending a letter to Autumn Leaf, which led to Autumn Leaf’s Princess Xi Yue coming to the Qing Kingdom. If the Qing Emperor did all of this in order to kill Princess Xi Yue.
“Then isn’t this …… a bleak sight to face with enemies on your back?
“This matter is extremely unwise and cannot be trusted.”
The crowd also nodded their heads, recognizing this statement.
Jiang Ran sat down again and looked at the wine in the cup again, but still didn’t drink.
It only said softly:
“Alright, alright, there is no need for everyone to discuss and speculate. Things have already passed, and those who want to investigate the causes and consequences can take their time afterward.
“I just rushed my words to this point, so it’s fine for everyone to just laugh it off, don’t take it too seriously.”
“Young warrior Jiang has a point, nowadays the most important thing is still the matter of the demonic sect.”
Ye Xuan also nodded, then said with a smile:
“Princess Xi Yue is safe and sound, and if we can then wipe out the Demon Sect in one battle, it would be a double blessing!!!”
His words just said here, suddenly his face changed dramatically …… This is not talking about his expression, but really talking about the color.
Since the original normal color, it became pitch black in an instant.
Immediately followed by a mouthful of blood violently sprayed out.
He hurriedly clicked seven or eight times on various parts of his body, but even so, the color on his face did not improve in the slightest.
Almost in the blink of an eye, he was already breathless as he spoke with difficulty:
“The …… Devil …… Devil …… Devil Cult has arrived!!!”
Words to this point, head a crooked, this personnel unconscious.
Beside the Ye family disciples each face changed greatly, rushed to come to see, can take a hand to explore, each face as if dead gray, only to hear a young man sadly open:
“The head of the family …… head of the family returned to heaven!!!”
The people present were suddenly frightened.
One had to know that the one who died was not some nobody.
This was the Ye Family’s family head!
Ye Xuan had been in the jianghu for more than thirty years, his martial arts skills were unfathomable, however, today, his death was incomparably stifling.
A body of martial arts with half a bit of room to exert, not even giving everyone time to react, just like that!
“Amitabha Buddha!!!”
Master Void Circle clasped his hands together and recited a Buddha’s name, followed by a vajra rage:
“Demon Sect Demon, since you’ve already arrived, do you still not dare to show yourself?”
“Hahahahaha.”
The sound of a long laugh suddenly came from all directions, there were so many people present, for a moment unexpectedly could not find where this sound came from.
“We were planning to have a small gathering in Seven An Town, but we didn’t expect to invite a group of uninvited guests.
“Sitting here relative to each other, eloquent talk, not ever will I magic religion in the eyes is just.
“Even dare to mention what double happiness?
“Do you really think that you were the ones who were great in the battle at Yanxu City? Treating my Demon Sect as a persimmon to be pinched?”
The voice drifted about, sometimes in the east, sometimes in the west, swiftly above, suddenly below.
Master Void Circle’s eyes were tightly closed, but he couldn’t tell where this person was.
And many people in the arena went to look at Xiao Baili at this time.
But they realized that Xiao Baili was even more like an old monk in meditation than Master Xuyuan.
Just sitting there, not moving at all.
Those who were close enough, could not care about anything else and went forward and gently pushed him:
“Grand Prince Xiao ……”
Before finishing a sentence, he heard a gurgling sound, and a human head had already fallen to the ground.
The blood above Xiao Baili’s neck only flowed out at this point.
He was unknowingly decapitated, and the people present were all unaware of it.
This scene, the horror, even on top of Ye Xuan’s inexplicable death.
Ye Xuan’s death was obviously poisoned by the devil’s disciples.
If this thing is skillful, it can kill people invisibly.
But Xiao Baili had been sitting there, and everyone could see him out of the corner of their eyes.
And yet none of them saw how exactly he got his head chopped off.
This devilish sect expert, could it be that he was still a ghost?
For a moment, the people present, could be said to be on edge.
Just listen to the voice of that Demon Cult Demon still opening his mouth:
“Truth be told, you and others have now fallen into my demonic religion net.
“One word determines their life, one word determines their death!
“However, the world has always had misconceptions about my Demon Sect. Think I magic religion for heaven to kill, keep the right and repel the evil people to kill …… in fact, I magic religion also have the virtue of good life.
“All of you today as long as you go to the good from the evil, into my magic religion.
“Then all can live!
“Otherwise …… no matter male or female, all of them will become prisoners.
“For my devil disciples, to cultivate divine power!!!”
“What a rampant demonic sect!!!”
In the midst of the meeting, one person stood up.
This person was not young, his black hair was meticulous, his clothes were meticulous, and even his beard would not fly easily with the wind.
With a green shirt and a scroll in his hand, he was none other than Mr. Qing Cang, who had a great conversation with Jiang Ran last night.
His face was not angry and he spoke in a cold voice:
“In broad daylight and a clear sky, how can we allow such sneaks to run wild!
“I and other righteous disciples, today will be to guard the righteousness of the evil, to support the way of heaven, for the jianghu to go you this devilish poisonous roots!!!”
At this point, his hand palm scrolls raised, only to hear the sound of clattering under, he suddenly a palm toward the top of the head.
This palm is quite marvelous, a palm hit, not the sky palm shadow, palm shadow connected into a line, clattering one after another.
Bang Bang Bang!
The tiles on the top of the head were not directly blown to pieces by this palm strike, but instead printed out an extremely vivid palm print.
It was a pity that after these palms landed, they all went to empty space.
Mr. Qing Cang’s expression changed slightly:
“The Demon Sect Demon is right outside, I will first scout the way forward for all of you.”
As the words fell, with a single point of his foot, the entire person had risen up in the air.
The rest of the crowd looked at each other, but nodded at the same time.
One after another vertical rise, only to hear the sound of clattering, the entire seven security building floor roof, all lifted, tiles flying in all directions.
When the shopkeeper who was hiding in a corner saw this scene, tears almost fell from his eyes.
After the experts rushed out of the roof, they landed in different places.
But there was no sign of the Demon Cult Demon.
Instead, it was Mr. Qing Cang who raised his head:
“So it’s here!”
The crowd followed the sound and saw that on a rooftop not far away, there was a man in black standing with a sword.
Without saying a word, Mr. Qing Cang raised his hand to strike.
This palm power of his stretched extremely long, a distance of more than ten feet, a palm suddenly arrived in front of the other party.
The blade in that person’s hand changed, followed by a turn in his footsteps, a step out, and his silhouette unexpectedly disappeared in an instant.
Jiang Ran then glanced at Zhen Cheng:
“Under the roof.”
What this person had cast just now was actually a blindfold spell.
Blindfolding was not a spell, but rather the blade attracting attention and then changing the location of the figure at an extremely fast pace.
It allowed the person to not be able to notice his own movements the moment they focused their attention on the blade.
By the time one waited to react, no trace of the man could be found.
If given more time, he could also change to another place from under the roof. By then, it would be really hard to find ……
But after Jiang Ran said it in one bite, Zhen Cheng didn’t even think about it and threw out both hands.
Buzzing!
A silver needle flew out from his hands, directly into the shadow.
Although no muffled grunts came out from under the shadows, the sound of ding ding ding ding rang out.
Obviously, that person was using a single sword to block the concealed weapon.
Zhen Cheng wanted to strike again, but suddenly turned around.
He saw a dark shadow that had arrived in the air.
Looking at the number, it was surprisingly not less than them.
“Under the sky, there is no magic land.
“Rate the land, there is no one who is not a devil’s disciple!
“Those who do not submit to my Demon Sect are seeking their own death!
“This jungle is mine.
“This world, too, is mine!
“I’ll kill you first, and then I’ll kill Emperor Qing.
“The fire of the sky will be the lamp, the blood will be the carpet.
“Human bones as chairs, the Devil Emperor is above, we devil disciples raise our glasses together!
“Kill!!!”
With a cry, this group of ‘Devil Cultists’ dressed in black had rushed into the crowd.
In the blink of an eye, shouts of killing rose and fell one after another.
The surroundings were suddenly in chaos.
Jiang Ran and Ye Shockfrost Ye Shockxue and the others came together in a group, and they heard Jiang Ran speak softly:
“Qingyi, you protect Princess Xiyue.”
Luo Qingyi immediately agreed.
When she looked up again, she saw that Li Tianyu was protecting Bai Lu and the child in her arms.
Meanwhile, Shang Wuming raised his head.
As his head lifted, his sword came out of its sheath.
It was a sharpness that was stern to the extreme.
A sword that was silent was a magnificent and incomparable sword, with sword qi that covered all eight directions and could astonish the sun and moon.
Shang Wu Ming’s sword, however, was as silent as his name.
The sword energy was neither long nor thick.
But wherever they passed, there was not a single living person.
Any black-clothed person who dared to come in front of them had already died under Shang Wuming’s sword without waiting to distinguish the specifics.
At the same time, there was still a shadow in the crowd.
He drifted around, swiftly walking past, and someone’s head would fall to the ground.
It was the black clothed man who used a single sword earlier.
In the midst of jiejie’s strange laughter, there were still several experts, appearing from various places, either to deal with the heads of the six sects, or to deal with the experts in the arena.
Tao Shan Weng was holding a mahogany staff, and the smile on his face couldn’t hang on any longer, the mahogany staff wasn’t too thick, however whenever it landed on someone’s head, that person’s head would directly crumble.
This person’s martial arts were indeed extraordinary, Jiang Ran had watched with cold eyes up to this point, and was basically certain that this person’s martial arts were above the Six Sect Masters.
However, just as Tao Shanweng was displaying his power and charging through the crowd.
He suddenly stumbled and threw out the peach wood staff in his hand, followed by a palm strike.
A loud snap was heard.
The mahogany staff instantly shattered into pieces.
Dust fell down, and wherever it scattered, someone let out a miserable scream.
Whether it was the righteous or the demonic path, all of them were treated equally.
Only a cold laugh could be heard from Tao Shanweng:
“Devil sect experts, when did they start using compulsion?”
“Using compulsion?”
Master Void Circle folded his hands together, and a Dharma phase was being raised high in the air, when he heard Tao Shanweng’s words, he immediately turned his head to look.
He saw a figure shrouded in black robes that was staring at him from afar.
The aged woman’s voice slowly spoke:
“My Demon Cult has never acted in an unconventional manner, why can’t I use compulsion?”
Wu Di raised his head openly and gazed at the black-robed figure.
Then he heard Jiang Ran’s voice in his ears:
“Recognize?”
“…… don’t dare to be sure.”
Wu Di frowned:
“But …… the voice is somewhat familiar.”
The Peach Goodness Weng in the arena sneered and was about to open his mouth, but suddenly his longevity eyebrow was raised, and he heard a voice suddenly pass into the ears of everyone present:
“Because they aren’t even from my Demon Cult.
“Although the people in my demon religion kill people have never been unconventional, but …… those who sing before they kill, this honored one has really never seen.”
